Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Navistar is recalling certain 2012-2013 IC Bus CE and RE school buses manufactured between December 2, 2010, and January 26, 2012, that are equipped with Bendix ATR-6 antilock traction relay valves. In extremely cold conditions, these valves may develop internal leakage that delivers air pressure to the primary or secondary brakes, causing them to apply continuously. This unexpected brake application can cause drivers to lose control of their vehicles and increase crash risk. Additionally, the brakes may engage without illuminating the brake lights, preventing other drivers from receiving proper warning.
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will provide a temporary repair at no charge while Bendix develops a permanent remedy. Owners of affected buses may contact Navistar at 260-461-1890 for service.
